Safety Information
Electrical safety
zTo prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical
outlet before relocating the system.
zWhen adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables
for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.
zBefore connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all
power cables are unplugged.
zSeek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These
devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.
zMake sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are
not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local
power company.
zIf the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service
technician or your retailer.

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or
change any motherboard settings.
zUnplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
zUse a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a
metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity
zHold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on
them.
zWhenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
zBefore you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX
power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from
the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to
the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

1.2 Motherboard Overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that
the motherboard fits into it. Refer to the chassis documentation before installing the
motherboard.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
1.2.1 Placement Direction
When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the correct
orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in
the image below.
1.2.2 Screw Holes
Place four (4) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the
chassis.
Do not over tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the
motherboard.

1.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a 940-pin AM2 socket designed for the AMD Phenom, Athlon
64, Athlon 64 x 2, and Sempron processor.
z Make sure the AC power is off before you install the CPU.
z If installing a dual-core CPU, connect the CPU fan cable to the
CPU_FAN connector to ensure system stability.
zThe AM2 socket has a different pin out from the 940-pin socket
designed for the AMD Opteron processor. Make sure use a CPU
is designed for the AM2 socket. The CPU fits in only one correct
orientation. DO NOT forces the CPU into the socket to prevent
bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU!
zYour boxed AMD Phenom / Athlon 64 / Athlon 64 x 2, and
Sempron CPU processors package should come with installation
instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and the retention mechanism.
If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU
documentation, follow the latter.
zUpon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap
is on the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact
your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see
any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard
components. Your place of purchase or local distributor will
shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is
shipment/transit-related.
zKeep the cap after installing the motherboard. Your place of
purchase or local distributor will process Return Merchandise
Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with
the cap on the CPU socket.
zThe product warranty does not cover damage to the socket
contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or
misplacement/loss/ incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

1.4.1 Installing the CPU
1. Locate the CPU socket on the
motherboard.
Before installing the CPU,
make sure that the socket
box is facing towards you and
the load lever is on your left.
2. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever
sideways, then lift it up to 90º~100º
angle.
Make sure that the socket
lever is lifted up to 90º ~ 100º
angle; otherwise the CPU
does not fit in completely.

3. Position the CPU above the socket
such that the CPU corner with the gold
triangle matches the socket corner with
a small triangle.
4. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket
until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one
correct orientation. DO NOT
forces the CPU into the
socket prevent bending the
pins and damaging the CPU.
5. When the CPU is in place, push down
the socket lever to secure the CPU.
